Hi.
My hubby died of a stroke.
It was very quick and unexpected.
The extent of the stroke was not known straight away and we waited to see if the treatment worked.
After 24hrs he was put on end of life care and i was told that he had no chance of survival and he would pass within the following 24hrs.
My son held onto his dad giving him a hug saying he loved him.I arranged child care and spent that day and night beside my hubby.The nurses came in throughout attending to his needs,turning him as to avoid bed sores.
Each time , he would struggle to cope and would go into respiratory distress.
So many times i though each breath was going to be his last as i held his hand resting my head on the edge of the bed.
In the morning, i had to leave briefly to take our son to school as mum did not know where it was.i hugged hubby whispering ,"hold on until i come back."
On the way back,the hospital rang and said i should come straight away.
I arrived at his bedside around 1 min too late and he had gone.
I was more than hysterical and could not accept this was happening or it was real.
Do you think that he would have left his body and was looking down at my pain and distress.do u think souls feel pain ,compassion and sadness.
I would hate to see my loved one cry at my bedside and feel so helpless.
Maybe these emotions are just physical.i dont know !
